I’ve got a little something new I’d like to start up with you, Found Music Friday’s! #FoundMusicFriday on Twitter! Each Friday I’ll post a blog with audio and/or video of music I’ve come across from throughout the week. Whether it’s something I’ve come across on my own or music I’ve been referred to via friends or labels, I'll put it together week in and week out in order to, hopefully, turn you onto some new jams!

First band is BIBLICAL as referred to me by the one and only F'Em Up Chuck! Check out their webpage and give a listen to a couple of tracks they have posted. Definitely Stoner Rock!

VICTORY RECORDS dropped off a couple albums to the studio this week, one of which really piqued my interest in COMEBACK KID with their latest effort "Die Knowing"! Here's a video, came out last month, for the tune "Should Know Better".

The other band, via Victory, is THE BUNNY THE BEAR. Not entirely sure my thoughts on them, but it is nice to see some out there being creative!

My man THE BUSTAMANTE turned me on to a couple of bands this week. This guy's like the Rainman of new and old music so expect a lot of input from him! First one, WHITE NOISE OWL. From what I understand someone from the band SNOT is in this. Here's the video for the single "Are You Breathing?"

The other band he turned me onto this week was MUTOID MAN with "Gnarcissist". These guys just did the annual SXSW. I know the video is five months old, but I just found out about them this week.

As I've mentioned before GLENN HUGHES & JASON BONHAM are back together on a new project CALIFORNIA BREED and they released their first video, "Sweet Tea" this week.

And finally, METALLICA rolled out a new tune this week while performing in Bogota with "The Lords of Summer". It's a demo version, but here's the best quality audio we have of said new tune.

Know of a band I should know of?

PS - Shout out to Roxy from Hard Drive Radio for her posting of this parody video about the "Sexiest Elbows in Rock!"

April 19th is that glorious of days I look forward to year in and year out! An International, Man-Made, Holiday created to celebrate all that's been printed on viny: RECORD STORE DAY! The following list is just a few of the RSD exclusives that will be available at various Record Stores throughout the world!

After much fanfare and inquisition THE PRETTY RECKLESS release their much anticipated follow-up to 2012’s EP “Hit Me Like a Man” with “Going to Hell”. I’m not entirely sure which is the clear winner between them and POP EVIL for THE new band everyone’s excited to see at Rockfest! Guess we’ll find out on Saturday, May 31st! Other notable releases for today include: SAXON: The Complete Studio Album Collection 1979 – 1988 and UFO: The Complete Studio Albums Collection 1974 – 1986. Both of these can be bought together via Amazon. OZZY’s latest guitar god, GUS G, drops a solo album, today, with “I Am the Fire”. I’ve told you guys about KILLER BE KILLED, the super-group with members of DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, SEPULTURA/SOULFLY, MASTODON & THE MARS VOLTA, here’s two tracks from their self-titled, debut album, dropping in May off NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS.

Remember HOWARD JONES ex-KILLSWITCH ENGAGE VOX? He’s got a new group, DEVIL YOU KNOW, which is dropping their debut album in April, on the 29th, titled “The Beauty of Destruction”. Here’s a teaser for “Seven Years Alone”.

DOWN rolled out a new track, recently, with “We Knew Him Well”. If you’re not aware DOWN is comprised of PHIL ANSELMO of PANTERA, PEPPER KEENAN from CORROSION OF CONFORMITY. Be on the look-out for their latest EP, “Down IV – Part Two”, May 13th.

AND speaking of PANTERA!!! To celebrate the 20th Anniversary of “Far Beyond Drive” there’s, naturally, a deluxe reissue coming your way in one week, on the 25th! It’ll be newly remastered with a new, live, performance from the Monsters Of Rock festival, 1994.

Here’s what else I have coming down the pike. See anything I’m missing?

While there's not a lot to talk about today, there's a whole ass-ton of new stuff coming out later this month, season, and year!

Somehow last week I brainfarted and missed posting up the fact that STEEL PANTHER has a new disc coming out, “All You Can Eat”. They’ll be joining us at Rockfest 2014 where I suspect we’ll hear some new tunes from them.

GUNS N’ ROSES are putting out a 3D film, “Appetite for Democracy” in April. I’m seeing it will get a theatrical release as well as be on DVD & Blu-ray, of which there are four formats available.

FOO FIGHTERS drummer, TAYLOR HAWKINS, has a new project looking to unleash their debut on April 15th in THE BIRDS OF SATAN. And yes, he – DAVE GROHL – guests on it.

GLEN HUGHES & JASON BONHAM have teamed up again for another “Supergroup” known as CALIFORNIA BREED. Be on the lookout for their self-titled debut album in May. You may recall the previous band Hughes & Bonham were a part of in BLACK COUNTRY COMMUNION.

Another psudeo-supergroup is putting their final touches on a debut album. KIMONO KULT, which features former RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS guitarist JOHN FRUSCIANTE & former MARS VOLTA guitarist OMAR RODRIGUEZ-LOPEZ, will drop their four-track EP “Hiding the Light” on March 4th, however you can stream it now here!

I wanted to put this up last week, but was afraid if I did I’d tip my hand on them making their first appearance at Rockfest THE PRETTY RECKLESS. Their latest work, “Going To Hell” will drop on March 18th!

Last & certainly not least; “Suicide Silence – Ending Is The Beginning: The Mitch Lucker Memorial Show” was released back in the middle of February and features a laundry list of those in the metal community who came out to reflect on the loss of their friend. CHAD GREY, MAX CAVALERA, and RANDY BLYTHE as well as many others show up for this.
